Paul Hill describes his influences as the Industrial Age of Machinery and the Art-Deco period. He enjoys transforming the metal into something recognizable to viewers. He creates his metal sculptures by "twisting, bending and cutting" the metal with the use of numerous tools. He begins with a steel frame formed to serve as the basis of the sculpture. From this frame he adds each piece carefully to develop his work. When the sculpture is complete, he adds a finish to the metal such as mineral spirits, linseed oil or a turpentine base.
